In rare situations, there might be problems with the drivers on Windows 8 which require manual intervention in order to get the device working the first time that it's connected to the PC. These issues manifest themselves with the following 2 error codes displayed in Windows Device Manager.
Code 28 - The drivers for this device are not installed.
